^^^^^ Word. To be accepted by a service school, you need a letter from a Congressman in addition to all the collegiate requirements. You may not care for them, but as a former Sailor and a current Soldier, I like them, and I didnt attend a service school. I am an enlisted soldier with a degree (shout out Louisiana Tech) and chose not to serve an officer. The "War Room" is brutal. And if you question the toughness of these kids ( I can say that because I'm 30+), try doing normal academics, military duties, and intercollegiate athletics. Not easy, and I've meet couple from both Army and Navy. I'm a fan of both schools because the life they chose. Just because you don't feel like they don't deserve........"gloves", doesn't mean everyone has the same sentiment. It's the price we pay (both foreign and current), so you can make those comments.

No disrespect intended, I was talking about a financial perspective and what would move units for Nike for those gloves. I have never seen anyone in my life wear any Army/Navy/Air Force Nike apparel/shoes/gloves in my life so I was saying its an odd choice to put out a $85 glove that is not going to move. The clothes that the military men actually wear, I am assuming, is more along the lines of their official hoodies, sweats, etc that they receive, not some fancy Nike apparel, however, I am just assuming of course. I have tremendous respect for all the military, I appreciate what they do for our country.

On another note, the FSU gloves are the Superbad 2.0 of course, the other ones are brand-new, no clue the name on those.

I understood what you were saying. It wasnt a knock on the military. It would be like the NFL pushing tons of gear from the Jaguars, which not only have a losing season, but are from a small market and have one of the smallest fan bases. Instead, they should push gear from the Cowboys and Patriots which are the most popular and have the biggest following.

I also think they might have done it because the did another 'Rivalry' uniform redesign for the service academies. I didnt see any other Nike teams besides Oregon get redesigns specially for this season where the gloves were unique. I could be wrong, but that is another theory as to why it was done.

Seen varying reports on the helmet Oregon will wear tomorrow night. First read it would be the yellow version with the silver wings, but now my impression is that it hasn't been confirmed. Any of you fellas with Oregon "inside info" can confirm which helmet we will see? I understand its the white jersey with changing color numbers but haven't heard anything about pants or helmet.

Does anybody know what helmet Oregon is going to wear tonight? At the media day they had the yellow and chrome helmet. On the Ducks website they a green helmet with green wings touring Phoenix. The green would make more sense seeing that there cleats are green and chrome.

The Ducks are wearing the green chrome helmet. The jerseys are white with the duck bronze/green shimmer numbers and the same on the 'feathers' on the shoulders. The new gloves are also looking clean. I cant wait to see solid colors in these new Vapor Fly gloves.

K State a little is apparently a little impressed with the Ducks gear. Too Funny!!

Can't wait to see what they do with the super bowl pack this year. Hopefully it's with those alpha pros.

I'm loving those vapor fly gloves but i'm not sure if i can get anymore nike gloves. I got a pair of the vapor jets, superbads and vapor jets 2.0 and they smell soo bad after only a couple wears. Probably have to go back to cutters.
